FOSTERING THE SPIRIT OF ONENESS
On 26 June, the Pioneers of Belfast Mine hosted a bold and inclusive Pride Month celebration at the Plaza, honouring the LGBTQIA+ community under the theme “reflection, empowerment, and unity.”
The event began with a keynote address by Mahlodi Rallele, Belfast Mine’s People and Culture Business Partner, who emphasised the importance of creating safe spaces for everyone to express their true selves.
The morning featured vibrant Pride décor and the activities encouraged participants to reflect on their experiences and biases, empower their LGBTQIA+ colleagues, and promote unity and solidarity.
Pioneers shared stories, connected, and celebrated the progress made in fostering an inclusive culture. The highlight was the Pride-themed tutus and colourful wigs worn by all Pioneers, along with rainbow flags, symbolising camaraderie and pride.
commitment of our Pioneers to fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued
and respected. Pride 2024 was a testament to our collective efforts to reflect on
our journey, empower each other, and unite for a brighter, more inclusive future.”
